More Features
As a Goshen College physics major, you will become part of an enthusiastic and supportive group of students and faculty as you work together and prepare for life after graduation.

Our instructional laboratories have twice received National Science Foundation support based on the concepts and ideas of the program. GC’s undergraduate research program has specialty x-ray, optics, holography and biophysics instruments and optical, acoustics and physical laboratories that are used to help students further their education.

Over 70 percent of GC physics majors enter graduate schools, such as Carnegie Mellon, Vanderbilt, the University of Illinois and the University of California at Berkeley.

More About Physics
Major in Physics

The physics department prepares responsible physicists, engineers and teachers for academic, research and industrial positions. Student involvement in active research within the department fosters an understanding of the philosophical and structural concepts of physics as well as an ability to apply the science itself. The department consciously promotes an active participation in the wider scientific and engineering communities.

Engineering 3-2 Program

The combination of a liberal arts background and an engineering degree from one of the leading engineering schools in the nation is the optimal education for the modern engineer. In this program the student spends three years at Goshen College and two or two and a half years at the engineering school, receiving a bachelor of arts degree in physics, chemistry or computer science from Goshen and a bachelor of science degree from the engineering school.

Secondary Education certification

Teacher certification is available for grades 5-12 in two related areas.
